A former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has lavished praises on President Bola Tinubu, describing him as master of the game.
Omokri, in a post on X, said “If politics is about addition (and it is), then I must add that Bola Tinubu is the Master of the Game.
“A man with the ability to withstand public opprobrium to do what he thinks is right for the nation. I pray for your success between now and May 29, 2027. May God bless you, sir.”
He specially thanked Tinubu for celebrating him on his birthday, saying that the President has shown that he is a father to all, irrespective of their political affiliations and chose to openly associate with him on his 50th birthday, even as some only privately acknowledged him.
“Bola Tinubu understands power and relationship building. He is a man who will not let others deter him from doing what he sets his mind to do when he chooses. In my book, he eminently deserves to be where God has put him today.
“I will only be fifty once in my life, and God has blessed me with enough for my need and even where I to have greed, there is plenty for that, too. However, money cannot buy the respect of the President of my country. And since President Tinubu respected me, I will respect him and his government while remaining where I am politically.
“His ability to forgive, anticipate betrayal and, prepare ahead, and then take steps to reach out to those who were not hitherto for him is commendable,” Omokri stated.
